Expected behavior. See comments within code snippet.

I am using XMLWriter with PHP 5.1.4 and find that it doesn't behave as I
expect. I am under the impressing that until I call 'endElement', I
should be free to continue adding attributes to an opened element
regardless of whether I have already added elements or text below it.
Look at this sample code:
<?php
//--------------------------------------------------
// create an object to write to an in-memory buffer
$XML = new XMLWriter();
$XML->openMemory();
// start new element and add 1 attribute
$XML->startElement("a");
$XML->writeAttribute("href", "http://www.google.com";);
// add a text node
$XML->text("Google");
Here you just closed the starting element tag and moved into content.
// add another attribute (DOES NOT WORK)
$XML->writeAttribute("target", "_blank");
If you check the return value (FALSE), you will see it failed.
The writer is positioned within element content so cannot write an
attribute. Attributes must be written while still positioned within the
element's start tag.
